India Women tour to Australia: IND-W vs AUS-W, 2nd T20I, Probable Playing 11, Where To Watch, Live Streaming Details

Australia Women are set to host India Women in the second T20I of their three match series at Manuka Oval on Thursday February 19. The visitors opened the contest in dominant fashion, securing a 21 run victory through the DLS method in a rain hit opener. After choosing to bowl first, India controlled proceedings early as their disciplined attack kept Australia under pressure. Early wickets disrupted the hosts’ rhythm, and despite brief resistance in the middle phase, the innings never gained sustained momentum at the death overs for control throughout.

Seamer Arundhati Reddy proved decisive, removing key batters in quick succession and finishing with four for 22 to claim the match award as Australia were dismissed for 133 in 18 overs. Rain then revised the chase to 30 in five overs, but India responded assertively. Shafali Verma blasted a rapid 21 while Smriti Mandhana calmly rotated strike. India surged to 50 for one in 5.1 overs before showers returned, officially sealing victory and handing the visitors a 1-0 lead. The result underlined their dominance and control throughout proceedings on tour.
